Five Year-Old Girl Can Speak 7 Languages, Play 6 Instruments

QUEENS, New York– Mabou Loiseau, a five-year-old child prodigy who is home-schooled can speak seven languages, play six instruments, and scored in the 99th percentile on the test for gifted and talented schools in New York City.

Mabou has her own dance studio with a mirrored wall where she learns tap and ballet. “All the sacrifices in the world for her,” said her mom, Esther Loiseau, a piano teacher who taught French at an American school before leaving Haiti for Queens 15 years ago. “Furniture is not important. Education is.”
